WHAT IS A KELVIN (K)?

A Kelvin (K) is a unit used to measure the color temperature of light. It helps you determine whether the light from a bulb looks warm (yellowish), cool (bluish), or neutral (white).

Kelvin <> Lighting
The Kelvin scale ranges from warm to cool light, like this:

• < 2700K | Warm, cozy light with a yellow/orange tint (like candlelight).
• 2700K - 3000K | Soft white light, often used in homes for a relaxing atmosphere.
• 4000K - 5000K | Cool white light, brighter and more focused, ideal for offices or kitchens.
• 6000K - 6500K | Daylight-like light, very bright and crisp, commonly used for task lighting or outdoor areas.
